TWO-COM PARTM ENT ENVELOPE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 544,276, dated August 13, 1895.

Application tiled November 22, 1894. Seal No. 529,658- (No model.)

To all whom it may con/cern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES DAVIS ALBERT, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at the'city of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented and yproduced a new and Improved Two-Compartment Envelope, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part thereof.

My invention relates to a new and improved twocompartment envelope, the blank for which is cut from paper or other pliable mai .terial consisting of an indivisible whole or parts pasted together to produce an envelope having two compartments, one of the compartments so produced having an opening atthe upper or lower side of said envelope, and the other compartment so produced having an opening at one end of said envelope, the compartment opening at the side, as aforesaid, to serve as a receptacle for railroad, theater, `and other tickets or other matter, and the compartment opening at theyend, as aforesaid, to serve as a receptacle for advertising or other matter. r

Figure 1 is a view ofthe blank from which the two-compartment envelope is made. Fig. 2 shows section 4 thereof folded over section 3. Fig. 3 is a view of the envelope ready for use. Fig. 4 is a view of the envelope orA section 1 properly folded. Fig. 5 is a view of the reverse of the envelope.

The numerals in Figs. 2, 3, 4, and 5 relate to the same numerals as are shown in Fig. 1.

In the construction of my two-compartment envelope I employ the followingprocess, namely:

After the cutting of the blank (Fig. 1 in the drawings herein) I fold, said blank so as to create thereof four sections of equal or nearly equal width, numbered in said Fig. 1 sections 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively, and at the same time creating the folding-lines 7, 8, and 9 therein. The extensions on each end of section 2 beyond a line even with the ends of In forming the two-compartment envelope from said blank or figure 1 I fold section 4 of said blank over section 3 thereof. Said section 4 folded over section 3 forms the body of the compartment-opening at the end of said envelope. I then fold said sections 3 and 4 over section 2, thereby forming the body of the compartment-opening at the side of said envelope, said section 4 by this folding process becoming the dividing-wall between the two compartments in said envelope. The adhesive flap or section 6 is thereupon folded over the ends of said sections 3' and 4 opposite to the incision 12 in section 3, and is fastened to section 3 by means of the sticky substance thereon. When folded and fastened, as aforesaid, said section 6 forms' and completes the end of said two compartments opposite to said incision 12. Section 5,which is also adhesive, is passed throughsaid incision 12 and is fastened over the end ofsection 4. This section when so folded and fastened provides said compartment-opening at the side, as aforesaid, with a second end and completes it. Finally section 1, which is in itself a flap, is folded over the opening 7 and 9 and over the incision 12. A

What I claim for my invention, and desire Vto secure by Letters Patent, is-

rIhe two -compartment envelope formed from the herein described blank, consisting of the rectangular sections 1, 2, 3 and 4, section 2 being provided with the adhesive flaps 5 and 6, section 3being provided with the incision 12, the blank being folded so that section 4 will be superposed upon section 3 and sections 3 and4 upon section 2, the adhesive flap 6 being secured to section 3 and the adhesive flap 5 lying within the walls of the incision 12 and being secured to section 4, substantially as described.

CHARLES DAvis ALBERT.
